SSFLNet: A Novel Fault Diagnosis Method for Double Shield TBM Tool System.

In tunnel boring projects, wear and tear in the tooling system can have significant consequences, such as decreased boring efficiency, heightened maintenance costs, and potential safety hazards. In this paper, a fault diagnosis method for TBM tooling systems based on SAV-SVDD failure location (SSFL) is proposed. The aim of this method is to detect faults caused by disk cutter wear during the boring process, which diminishes the boring efficiency and is challenging to detect during construction.

Real-Time Leak Location of Long-Distance Pipeline Using Adaptive Dynamic Programming.

In traditional leak location methods, the position of the leak point is located through the time difference of pressure change points of both ends of the pipeline. The inaccurate estimation of pressure change points leads to the wrong leak location result. To address it, adaptive dynamic programming is proposed to solve the pipeline leak location problem in this article.

Accurate Power Sharing and Voltage Regulation for AC Microgrids: An Event-Triggered Coordinated Control Approach.

The microgrid with the high proportion of renewable sources has become the trend of the future. However, the negative features, such as renewable energy perturbation, nonlinear counterpart, and so on, are prone to causing the low-power quality of the ac microgrid. To deal with these problems, this article proposes an event-triggered consensus control approach.

An Optimal Three-Dimensional Drone Layout Method for Maximum Signal Coverage and Minimum Interference in Complex Pipeline Networks.

In daily pipeline inspection, it is significant to ensure good network communication and security. With the development of drone technology, it is possible to apply drones as air routers to collect information from pipeline networks and transmit it to pipeline inspectors. It is also crucial to achieve optimal drone deployment in pipeline networks.

Insufficient Data Generative Model for Pipeline Network Leak Detection Using Generative Adversarial Networks.

In terms of pipeline leak detection, the unavoidable fact is that existing data could not provide enough effective leak data to train a high accuracy model. To address this issue, this article proposes mixed generative adversarial networks (mixed-GANs) as a practical way to provide additional data, ensuring data reliability. First, multitype generative networks with heterogeneous parameter-updating mechanisms are designed to explore a variety of different solutions and eliminate the potential risks of instable training and scenario collapse.

Situation awareness method using spectral analysis of random matrix for integrated energy system.

Situation awareness is essential to ensure operation of integrated energy systems consisting of the electricity, gas and heat systems. However, the multi-energy flow characteristics of system result in strong coupling relationships among different subsystems including different detection variables, which bring new challenges to situation awareness. To address this issue, a data driven detection method based on spectral analysis of random matrix is proposed in this paper.

Data-core-based fuzzy min-max neural network for pattern classification.

A fuzzy min-max neural network based on data core (DCFMN) is proposed for pattern classification. A new membership function for classifying the neuron of DCFMN is defined in which the noise, the geometric center of the hyperbox, and the data core are considered. Instead of using the contraction process of the FMNN described by Simpson, a kind of overlapped neuron with new membership function based on the data core is proposed and added to neural network to represent the overlapping area of hyperboxes belonging to different classes.
